Title: A New or Improved Device for Diminishing or Increasing the Light of a Gas Jet from a Distant Position.
Inventor: WHITEHEAD THOMAS LEWIS
Filed: 1900-03-30
Granted: 1901-02-09
Abstract: 5945. Whitehead, T. L. March 30. Gas supply.-To allow gas lights to be turned up or down by a person in bed or at a distance, there is secured on the thumb-piece b of the gas cock, by means o f a setscrew c, a lever a, to which a curved slotted bar e is adjustably connected by a second set-screw d. The light is turned up by actuating the spindle l or the pivoted lever m at one end of a cord g, which passes over pulleys or their equivalents to its attachment at the free end of the lever a on the gas cock. Upon releasing the spindle l or the lever m, the gas jet is lowered by the action of a spring or of the weight of the attachment a on the thumb-piece of the cock, the total extinction of the flame being prevented by the abutment of the adjustable piece e against a wall or other obstruction. The device may be applied to gas cocks in which the thumbpiece b is arranged below instead of at the side of the bracket.

Granted: 1903-05-14
Abstract: 6854. Beurrier, A. March 24. Couplings, automatic.-An automatic coupling for railway vehicles is formed by a coupling-eye c, Fig. 2, on one vehicle, and a wedge-shaped block A mounted in a coupling-head B on the other vehicle, and arranged to slide vertically when struck by the inclined end of the eye c and then to drop into the eye. The movement of the block A is limited by a stud r, Fig. 8, on the head B engaging a recess in the block.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Timing Bird Races and the like.
Inventor: GARDNER THOMAS
Filed: 1903-04-11
Granted: 1904-02-18
Abstract: 8381. Gardner, T. April 11. Chronographs for timing bird races and the like. A clock E provided with a balance J is enclosed in a box A having a door B, which is securely fastened by a bolt R adapted to be inserted into a sleeve S or a number of eyes on the door B and into an angle-piece T, which fits in a recess t on the door when closed. A lead seal fastens together the lugs V, v, provided with suitable holes. A pocket C is provided in the box A, and tickets of birds can be introduced therein through an opening c, provided with a cover-slide D. When the slide is moved to shut the slot c, a piece H upon it is disengaged from the balance J, and the latter is free to move. A spring blade or pawl G on the slide engages a rack g fixed to the case to keep the slot c shut by the slide D ; but sufficient play may be given to the slide to enable the piece H to be brought into engagement with the balance J without the slot c being uncovered. The balance normally oscillates so that a stop k on it just keeps clear of a tongue K, of india-rubber or the like, suitably mounted near the wheel. If the swing of the wheel is increased by shaking &c., the stop k is forced past the tongue K, and is retained by it on the return of the wheel, thus stopping the clock. The clock may be started again by pressing the wheel with the piece H, so as to free the stop from the tongue. The tongue K may have more play in one direction than another, to ensure the stoppage of the balance when the stop passes the tongue. Several such timing-devices may be contained in one case.

Granted: 1904-09-08
Abstract: 19,313. Fairweather, W., [Noble, G. S.]. Sept. 8. Moving-beater appar a t u s.- A concrete mixer consists of an invertible cylindrical drum 4, Fig. 1, having a short hopper 7 on the upper side, and traversed by two moving blades 25, mounted as shown in Fig. 4 on arms carried by a central shaft 20. To prevent undue friction with the sides of the drum, these blades are pivoted on pins 23 and supported by.lugs 27 ; they also carry smallcastors 28 which roll round the cylinder. The drum is inverted by a wheel and worm on a disconnectible shaft 10. When inverted, the drum is emptied by operating the blades to remove material from the sides. Rigid and spiral blades are also described. The effect of the pivots 26 is that when passing the upper part of the cylinder the blades are deflected downwards as shown in Fig. 4.
